Product details
Overview
SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, with 8.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 9.03–9.69 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 13.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 44.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (PPPM) capability under 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect signal lines and power rails in sensor interfaces and industrial control inputs.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H pinout, SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H application, or SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<500 μA at VWM), MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping transient protector for bidirectional signal paths, leveraging avalanche breakdown to shunt surge energy away from downstream ICs. Its symmetrical I-V characteristic ensures identical clamping behavior in both polarities, eliminating need for polarity-aware layout.
Designed for 10/1000 μs surge waveforms at 0.01 % duty cycle, it delivers 600 W peak pulse power with 13.4 V clamping at 44.8 A, while maintaining <500 μA reverse leakage at 8.0 V and thermal resistance of 125 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on minimum pad).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 8.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VBR min/max | 9.03 V / 9.69 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM | 13.4 V at 44.8 A - clamping voltage limits stress on protected circuitry during 10/1000 μs transients |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak surge power handling per single 10/1000 μs event, derated above 25 °C ambient |
| ID @ VWM | <500 μA - low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - surface-mount outline with 2.20 mm max height, optimized for automated placement |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - no floor life limitation; supports standard reflow without baking |
Pinout & Package
Two-terminal bidirectional device in SMB (DO-214AA) package; no cathode band marking; terminals are symmetrical and non-polarized. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 mechanical robustness requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Both terminals function identically; surge current flows bidirectionally through avalanche junction |
| Case (cathode side unmarked) | Thermal and mechanical interface | Exposed copper area on underside aids heat dissipation; requires minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad for rated PPPM |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables protection of AC-coupled or differential signal lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN, USB D+/D−) without polarity constraints |
| ±3.5 % VBR tolerance | Reduces design margin overhead and improves consistency in multi-channel protection schemes |
| 600 W PPPM (10/1000 μs) | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-earth) when properly mounted on recommended pad layout |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant M3 suffix | Meets industrial-grade environmental compliance including JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance for long-term reliability |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., ESD, inductive switching), improving system immunity |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Automotive Body Control Module |

Use Value: Sub-1 ns response and 13.4 V clamping prevent damage to USB PHY transceivers rated for 5.5 V absolute maximum. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ8.0CA | Same SMB package, 8.0 V VWM, but ±5 % VBR tolerance (vs. ±3.5 %); 13.6 V VC at 44.3 A | Marginally higher clamping voltage; suitable where tighter VBR spec is not required | Select SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H when precise breakdown matching or lower leakage (<500 μA) is critical |
| ON Semiconductor SMCJ8.0CA | SMC (DO-214AB) package - larger footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm vs. 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm); same 8.0 V VWM, 13.4 V VC | Higher thermal mass allows 1.5× longer surge duration handling but requires PCB area increase | Choose SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H for space-constrained designs needing SMB footprint and MSL Level 1 compatibility |
Compared with SMAJ8.0CA and SMCJ8.0CA, SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H offers tighter VBR tolerance, lower profile, and superior moisture resistance - making it preferred for high-density industrial PCBs where layout space and production yield are constrained.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H?
SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H is a bidirectional TVS diode with symmetrical terminals and no cathode band marking. Its I-V curve is identical in both directions, enabling use on AC-coupled or differential signal lines without orientation concerns. This distinguishes it from unidirectional variants like SMBJ8.0D, which require correct anode/cathode placement relative to ground.
Does SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H meet automotive qualification standards?
SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but its construction - including MSL Level 1 rating, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and operation up to +150 °C junction temperature - supports use in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems such as body control modules and infotainment power rails when validated per system-level requirements.
What is the maximum allowable PCB pad size for full 600 W PPPM rating of SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H?
To achieve the full 600 W peak pulse power rating, SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H must be mounted on a minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad area per terminal, as specified in Vishay Document 87606. Using smaller pads reduces thermal dissipation and derates PPPM - e.g., on standard FR-4 with minimal copper, PPPM drops to ~300 W.
How does the ±3.5 % VBR tolerance of SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H impact system-level surge testing?
The ±3.5 % VBR tolerance (9.03–9.69 V at 1 mA) ensures consistent clamping onset across production units, reducing variation in system-level IEC 61000-4-5 test margins. This tight distribution simplifies safety margin allocation and improves pass-rate repeatability in batch validation compared to looser-tolerance alternatives.
Can SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H replace SMBJ8.0D in an existing unidirectional design?
No - SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H is bidirectional and lacks polarity marking, so it cannot directly replace unidirectional SMBJ8.0D without circuit review. In a unidirectional application, using SMBJ8.0CD-M3/H may allow reverse-bias leakage paths or unintended conduction; redesign verification is required before substitution.
